Hair Experts Debunk 15 Hair Myths | Debunked

[@justvibhor]

Hair growing faster when you constantly cut it is probably one of the most known myths about hair in the world

[@KP-rh5qz]

I never heard this myth.

[@jaszlyyy]

The point of trimming is to avoid splits and knots. Hair stylists encourage trims so that your hair can grow without breaking at the ends. It’s not necessary but your hair will struggle to get longer if the ends are damaged as breaking. Trying to grow hair longer with unhealthy ends probably takes 5x as long as trying to grow and maintain length with healthy ends

Could you maybe elaborate on the dandruff answer? There seem to be other conditions that can cause flakes that can be quite unpleasant while not being technically dandruff. Can these smaller flakes be caused by extensive washing and shampooing of a sensitive/dry scalp as it is often claimed?

This is just one possibility but for those who have dry scalps, it's a possibility that you may have scalp psoriasis. If you notice a lot of flaking and scabs on your scalp it's definitely worth checking into. My sister and I have always had flaky hair and thought we just had a bad case of dandruff but it has advanced over the years and my sister (24) was recently diagnosed with scalp psoriasis. I'm 19 and it's getting worse for me too now so I think I probably have it too. Hope this helps!

I love how they discussed scalp sensitivity being a myth.

I have a high tolerance for pain before I start outwardly showing it and by the time I was in high school I was crying with every relaxer. When I did the big chop before leaving for college and stopped chemically treating my hair I noticed that my scalp started feeling much better and my hair felt so much healthier. It actually started growing much faster than before (the chemicals were probably breaking and damaging it) and I started enjoying getting my hair braided because it didn't hurt anymore.

Stress effects hormones so it's not uncommon for it to cause things to happen like that in extreme cases like they said. The body stops making the melanin and it goes white, this is sad to have happen young and could have been prevented by lessening stress and taking a blood panel. It helps diagnose those key hormone changes and they could have helped prevent it but... by the time you realize what's going to happen it's happened so ... not much you can do after the fact.

I’m still a little skeptical of the shampooing answer, while I recognize the process of shampooing doesn’t cause hair loss, I’ve definitely noticed experientially that it dries out my hair, some brands far worse than others. A lot of conditioners also don’t properly replenish or moisturize, they just coat with wax for the appearance of hydration. I’ve heard that shampooing regularly can actually cause your scalp to produce more oil to account for the drying effects but I’d like to hear professionals discuss how true this is

[@megamegan944]

Maybe try a moisturizing shampoo? Shampoos can definitely be really drying

[@av1953]

Yea moisturizing one or maybe even organic shampoos/conditioners. Not an expert but it’s worked for me so far (I have long fine hair). Maybe our scalps and hairs react the same way our skin would when it’s dry and the actual cause being it’s not hydrated/moisturized enough.

[@ezekielortega6040]

There is salon shampoos that are expensive but great for you type of hair.

[@Dem765]

Every professional I know tells me that people need to wash their hair. Certain people require more washes, but if your shampoo is drying your hair, then it's not the right shampoo for you. My mother has people sit in her salon chair every day, and she knows if you're not washing your hair every 1-3 days. The scalp gets dirty, and there's buildup. My hair is long and damaged(past bleaching/dyeing), which is why shampoo dries out my hair. I apply conditioner to my ends before and after shampooing my scalp, and then I go in with a leave on conditioner as needed. If you use dry shampoo regularly in leu of washes, then you're damaging your scalp even more. Product/sweat/oil shouldn't sit on the scalp for days on end, it could cause damage, hair loss, dandruff, scalp pimples, etc. The no-wash trend is not helping people, just like the coconut oil trend and the no-wash face trend for acne. Hygiene and cleanliness is not bad for you unless you're overdoing it or using the wrong products

I wish they elaborated on the “hair doesn’t grow faster from cutting it” of course it doesn’t alone. But if you have split ends and single strand knots, NOT trimming your ends has a negative effect on any growth. A split end will continue splitting up the strand, and knots continue knotting, leading to breakage. If your hair is breaking at the same rate it’s growing, it’s almost like it’s hardly growing. Healthy ends allow for less breakage than unhealthy ends.

[@colinray4186]

[@Sonixqueen1991]

my hairdresser said that hair does not grow faster when you cut it, but if someone has heat damaged hair or uses heat products regularly, trimming the hair frequently will help remove split ends which will eventually fall out (unless properly treated). This way the hair appears to be growing longer because of the trims, but in reality its because it is healthier.

[@emm5036]

Right, trims do not change growth rate, but if damage and split ends are left unchecked, often ends can break off faster than new growth comes in. So it won't make your hair grow faster, but occasional trims can help achieve more length in a shorter time by preventing split ends from spreading.

Wet hair is weaker and more subject to all sort of damage than hair with a normal humidity. If the humidity of the air is less than 10% (Wyoming, Antarctica, et al), that can lead to excessively dry hair, which is also weak. Gentle manipulation of wet won't directly damage it, but preventing it from drying for hours can lead to harmful fungal growths.

The slightly talked about it during the time they were talking about blow drying vs. air drying.

[@gnarthdarkanen7464]

It kinda depends on HOW exactly, that you put your hair up while it's wet... You don't want to braid it tight or put it into a particularly cramped do, like a tight ponytail or bun while it's wet. That's going to be abusive and with wet hair being softened from moisture, it's more prone to breakage and pulling out... BUT if you're using a towel and tie device of sorts (even improvised from a towel and clips or bands) to help the drying process, then it's generally gentle enough to restrain the stuff out of your way, and get that wicking done to dry the hair for when you ARE interested in sculpting or brushing and doing whatever... This process can also largely vary by temperature and humidity in your house in general... BUT you want your hair fairly dry before setting braids or buns or tying back ponytails with any vigor... It's worth saying that "pre-softening" like in a good warm shower DOES help with the whole shaving process, including avoiding damage to the skin (which can intensify thickening of hairs)... AS does taking good care of your shaver/razor device and blades... I've seen far too many people with the hair that they regularly shave as thick and hard as tooth-picks for me to say the whole "shaving thickens hair" legend is just a myth... It's hard to believe that JUST the hair on someone's face or JUST the hair on someone's legs or JUST the hair on the pits is somehow naturally supposed to grow thick enough individually to be used to clean teath... and nowhere else on the body... Anecdotally, I've noticed that most guys (who don't routinely shave their legs) show a bit thicker and denser hair on their legs and arms, which are exposed to sunlight and weather a LOT more than the rest of their bodies over time... Likewise, older school types who use a straight razor (aka "cutthroat razor") or the old "butterfly" types have a dubious tendency toward a very stiff, wiry beard, but no such hair anywhere else??? SO "hmmmm"... there's at least a kernel of truth there... SO here's the thing. Largely, your skin heals and repairs itself around the hair follicles. You don't have to believe me, either... Look into "Burn treatments and stages of healing" with an image search... You'll see that as a burn patient with significant area heals, there are "polka dots" of new skin that grow from the hair follicles and eventually blend together during their treatment... I got 2nd and 3rd degree burns over about 25% of my body, so got this lesson up close and very personal... What happens with shaving is repeated damage to the follicles and skin cells around them... Usually, it's a lack of skill and too much pressure or vigorous effort with the razor causing the damage... Over time, the body not only heals itself, but starts to reinforce those areas being routinely damaged... rather the same principle as building a callous... AND eventually, this reinforcement can include the hair... SO this isn't to stop you from shaving. On it's own, no... The process of hair cutting, including with a butterfly or cutthroat razor won't necessarily damage the skin and cause such problems... BUT you'll want to work at skill and finesse. It's about a delicate touch to cut just the hair, not irritate or over-stimulate or damage the skin... I've consistently let my beard and mustache grow out about every year, just to have a break from shaving and to condition and treat the skin as well as hair to soften the stuff up... It helps. It may not be a magic potion to fix all the damage done already, but to a fair degree, it can help... especially with longer term comfort... ;o)

[@terrellfstephens]

@@isaiahgibson3699 Hair growth is determined mainly by genetics. No topical product, outside of Minoxidil (the active ingredient in Rogaine), is able to grow hair. The best thing one can do is to create a healthy environment that the hair can grow: eat nutrient-dense foods and drink plenty of water. Use water-soluble hair products that aren't laden with heavy oils and butters, detangle properly, and keep your hands out of your hair after you're done styling it (obviously, in between your washes, you'll need to fluff and shake back out your style daily, but just don't play with your hair). Cleanse, condition, and style AT LEAST within every 7-10 days, or depending on your lifestyle (for instance, if you workout a lot, you'd want to wash more often because of sweat, and the buildup that can happen on the scalp from that). Scratch itches with the pads of your fingers versus your nails to prevent scarring to the scalp. Never style on dry hair, and protect your hair at night (bonnet, durag, etc.). These basics will create the optimal environment for your hair to grow based on your genetics.

[@erickaklippert8983]

I raised three daughters, all quite close in age. They were never "tender headed" its just that I was down right brutal and vicious when putting their hair up!! Ok not totally true, that is absolutely a story they might tell :) Truth is I was very gentle in brushing their hair out, but in order to get their hair not only into a pony tail but to stay in a pony tail required an iron grip. I know there are a lot of difficulties with curly hair, but super fine silky, bolt straight hair definitely has its own challenges. Additionally, a myth I frequently combat is that hair will just keep growing indefinitely. Everyone's body has an ideal length that it will grow to, so for people that say "it just doesnt matter what I do, my hair just wont grow any longer", I have to break the news that they are probably right. As long as they arent doing anything to greatly damage and break their hair keeping it at that length, and their diet is good, that is just probably just the length their hair wants to be. While they may want their hair longer, I think it helps to stop beating yourself up over it, and thinking you are doing something wrong. Just be happy with what god gave ya!

[@thepinkestpigglet7529]

In high school there was this kid who's hair never grew nor got shorter. It was always at his shoulders. Swore he never cut it even a millimeter.

The one at 2:14 is not a myth. I have baby fine hair, and when I was little, I went to a summer camp. The Counselors forced me to take daily showers. By the time I went home, my hair was as dry and brittle as straw, and it was falling out in clumps at the slightest touch. It took a lot of time to fix the damage, and the dermatologist said to mom that I had to wash once a week, or it would happen again.

[@butterfly1373]

It actually depends on the person. Some people may need to take showers every day because their scalp produces lots of oil or they're very active. Others not so much, so you can't force someone to do more or fewer showers because it depends on their body.

[@ChezMymy]

I agree with you, it s not a myth for me either. I usually wash my hair twice week, but in summer, I sometimes wash my hair more frequently and my scalp starts becoming itchy, tensed, and my hair dryer than they already are, and my usual conditioner/mask is no longer enough. The hair is covered by sebum, and I think by washing it too frequently, the sebum is removed by soap and the hair dries up.

[@afia7710]

That’s why I use a shower cap the days I don’t wash my hair :)

[@lindareed8265]

I'm just hypothesizing here, but I wonder if it had more to do with the product you were using and maybe even how much of it you were using. As they mentioned, focus on your scalp, then let the rest run down. But if you use too much, or you have skin that isn't providing the sebum needed to keep your hair hydrated, then ya, more breakage. Being out in the sun, more physical stress through wind damage, brushing too hard... all kinds of things could have been playing a part. And you may have been less hydrated during that summer camp which would slow regrowth.

Isn't the "You're hair will grow fast if you keep your edges trimmed" Because you're trimming off the split ends that can break up the strand making your hair seem shorter or like it's not growing?

I’m tired of people telling me how to take care of my hair. As someone with acne, as well as long, fine, blonde hair, I understand that cleansing is only half of the process. The other half is moisture. I have to wash my hair daily because it simply gets too oily otherwise. I wash my hair every day with a sulfate free, keratin and almond oil infused shampoo. I brush my hair using a Tangle Teezer brush while my hair is still pretty wet (after I wait maybe 10 minutes), then I apply hair oil to keep my ends moisturized. My advice for people with hair like mine is: if it’s nearly impossible to get a comb or brush through your hair after showering and when it’s wet, YOU NEED A NEW SHAMPOO.

[@Pannenkoekenplantje]

[@terrellfstephens]

🤔 Cosmetology student here, tight-curl specialist in training. Porosity of the hair changes based on all kinds of factors, some of them environmental, some of the stylistic. Our hair never sits at a constant state of “high” or “low porosity”. What style do you usually wear it in? What styling products did you use? Did you air dry, or use a hooded dryer? Do you have straight, or textured hair? What’s your lifestyle like? What’s the temperature where you are? Did you apply conditioner after your shampoo? What’s the density of your hair? Length? Texture? Surface texture? ALL of these, and more that I’m probably missing, affect how long it takes one’s hair to dry. In the world of cosmetology, porosity is mainly used for hair coloring; the layperson shouldn’t have to worry about hair porosity at all. Also, keep in mind that water is the only thing that can “moisturize” hair. Some confuse “lubricated” with “moisturized”, which leads down a whole path of bad. Doing a “pre-poo” maybe necessary for you, but you should still always condition after you shampoo. Shampoo raises the cuticle of the hair, allowing for water to enter (“high-porosity”); your conditioner closes the cuticle back down (“low-porosity”). I’d definitely try to partner with a knowledgeable stylist in your area. They’ll be able to give you the best options for your hair, based on your lifestyle, and how your like to present in the world. You’ll get the BEST advice that way so your hair will thrive.

[@kateelizabeth5130]

hey! I’m a hairstylist :) basically cutting your hair does NOT make it grow faster- however it helps you to achieve your desired length more quickly! Trimming your hair often gets rid of split ends. Split ends start at the bottom of your hair shaft and continuously move up and up until it reaches the top (unless you cut it before it gets there). As it moves up it’s becoming more and more prone to breaking off and that is why we need to cut them. Split ends not only make your hair look and feel damaged, it will literally make your hair prone to breaking off so that even if you haven’t cut it in a year, you will not see as much growth (healthy growth at that) than if you were to trim it every few months. If you do not bleach or colour your hair often or at all, you probably won’t notice this too much until it’s been about a year of not cutting it, however if you DO bleach or colour your hair often, you will notice this VERY quickly as those chemicals put more stress on the hair strands and make them weaker (they also are changing the ph balance of the hair) and so you will need to trim it much more often than someone with virgin hair.

The reason your hair feels like its growing faster after its cut is because you’re getting rid of the split ends which ultimately cause breakage. So after you get rid of those your hair is less prone to breakage which makes your hair feel like its growing faster!

I have been to many doctors in the past about hormone issues, the hair growing back thicker if you shave it isn't completely true but it is at the same time. but that "myth" is mainly used for body hair and not the hair on your head. I remember my doctor saying that when you shave your hair, it releases a hormone to grow back thicker which also raises the level of testosterone in that certain spot. body hair is natural and shouldn't be shaved, so your body regrows it thicker to make it more difficult to shave. don't base me on this information, it is something i have experienced and learned from professionals.
